"REM's 12th album, and second without Bill Berry. It's a much warmer album than it's predecessor, up. In fact, you could probably call it REM's summer album. It was preceded by the single, imitation of life, which is ok, but it's a bit throwaway by REM standards, and feels a little out of place on..." [+] Reply

"These guys seem like a record company concoction to sell hip pop music to indie kids. i know it, best buy knows it, so they should just admit it. Knowing this, the songs still work. Commercial jingle "flathead", "chelsea dagger" and "baby fratelli" are just too much fun in an INXS kick/x way not ..." [+] Reply

"I like to think of this as the second half of The Streets' A Grand Don't Come For Free written from the girl's perspective. I can't believe I never bothered to listen for a whole 10 years." Reply

"Great follow up to, limbo panto. Two dancers, is a slightly more reserved, if that's the right word, but in a good way. I'm probably trying to say that this album is a lot less bonkers than the first one. Still, two dancers, is great with strong cuts in, hooting and howling, and, this is our lot...." [+] Reply

"I might go as far to say this is my favourite album to listen to ever, but I feel it's not really an album in the sense everything else is, so I'm abstaining it from my chart. If there was one thing The Beatles weren't so good at it was creating a cohesive body of work - even Sgt. Peppers Feels m..." [+] Reply
